    What the fuck is she supposed to say with The Emperor’s daughter on stage with her?

    Look, we all know that The Lincoln Project, and other assorted old school Republicans are trying to rehabilitate the reputation of the party, and they are almost all responsible for the place we find ourselves. They hate that an overgrown narcissistic manchild said the quiet parts out loud for 8 years. We get it.

    But we are very, very close to the literal end of our imperfect form of Democracy, and are very close to a Handmaid’s Tale version of a corporate theocracy.

    So fuck this “Both Sides Are Bad” Russian propaganda bullshit. Suck it up until the election is over. There may never be another one.

      There’s nothing to say she has to share that stage with the woman. They’re making the conscious choice to Hitch their wagons to the Cheney family. The Harris campaign isn’t passive here. This isn’t something they have to deal with, this isn’t something that happened to them, this is something they chose to pursue.

        Yeah, there is. When you grow up, and realize the world isn’t a binary black and white comic book dichotomy, you’ll realize that sometimes you have to suck it up, and go along with something you don’t like to get the end result you want.

        Also, fuck Putin.

          I’m sorry fucking what? There’s a rule that says you have to share the stage with war criminals? That’s what you’re coming at me with? To win Kamala Harris has to make common cause with someone responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people? She has to? She has no choice in the matter? That’s what you’re saying?

            I’m sorry, what? How is Harris personally responsible for decades and decades of foreign diplomacy? Are Republicans responsible for the same? The same pussy bitch cunt sycophantic party responsible for over a million deaths of idiots who didn’t think COVID was real? We’re done.

            Also, fuck Putin. And fuck his bitch, Trump.

              Of fucking course they’re responsible. So why does Harris have to stand on stage with them? How are you not getting this? Why does she have to pull them on stage put her arm around them and and say they stand with her? That’s what she’s doing. It’s fucking dumb. There’s no reason to do this.

              Wait! I thought Jill Stein was the Russian Asset of choice on Lemmy? Was Trump always accused of being one and I just never noticed because of the Stein-hate? Serious question.

              I mean, I’m not saying he is not, it’s just that I see that accusation thrown at Stein, not so much Trump.

          Nah, that’s just what the Duopoly wants you to think, friend. You actually don’t have to put up with any of that shit. I’m proudly voting third party. I don’t give a shit what happens as a result. I’m voting for who I want to win, now just against who I don’t want to win.

      Nah. You are giving Trump way too much credit.

      So fuck this “Both Sides Are Bad” Russian propaganda bullshit. Suck it up until the election is over. There may never be another one.

      People have been saying this way before “Russian propaganda.” Some people genuinely don’t like Harris or Trump. That’s just the way things are.

      The world won’t end if Trump gets elected again anyway. I promise.

      But he won’t get elected, so it’s a nothingburger to talk about anyway.

        Yeah, no, fuck you, Ivan.

        Trump is the puppet. The useful idiot. The people funding the “Think Tanks” are the real power behind this. And you know it.

        Also, Fuck Putin.

          I’m not sure who Ivan is. Are we having the same conversation? Can you clarify what you mean?

          I do agree with you that people funding the Think Tanks are the real power behind this. They are also the real power behind both the Democrats and the Republicans. Both parties are bought and paid for. It’s all about money and power for them.

          Which is why I’m voting third party.
